Steam & Excursion > R&N 425 at Nesquehoning

With the great weather we had in the Lehigh Gorge last Sunday, I spent most of the day on the bicycle between Jim Thorpe and the Lehigh Gorge State Park. One thing I wanted to do was to catch the westbound Fall Foliage train heading back to Port Clinton. I wanted a spot close to the park to resume enjoying the weather and three day weekend vacation I had. I've photographed trains before in Nesquehoning, so I figured that would work. I chose the first crossing in town as I really liked the color on the trees. I know there are some shadows in the video from the cross-buck with gate and the telephone pole, but the engine sounded great in the valley. Roughly, the first minute of the video is just sound of the engine heading west. I am guessing there may be a slight incline as the train heads out of Jim Thorpe and heads to Nesquehoning.

So without further adieu, here is the video of R&N 425 and the Fall Foliage train. Hope you enjoy!

Very nice indeed! Spectacular sound! Thanks for sharing.

No wonder she's talking loud, that's quite the passenger train she's lugging behind her!
